Yep, so attack people who were able to start and run these businesses. They borrowed money, took the risk, worked hard and their success leads to jobs. Yep, go an attack them, bring them down!! and see where that gets you.

Except for all those who go broke, fail, and wind up in the same situation they started with only with a lot more debt.

Seriously, I doubt any words on a website are going to ruin anyone's chances.

One of the nice things about ACA is that, by uncoupling insurance and employment, more people can start small businesses without worrying that one health crisis will wipe them out.

Somehow I doubt it will be the complainers like you. Oh and about ACA, it just increased the chances of failure that you talk of.

I'm not a racist by any means and don't want this thread to get out of hand, but 14-1 voting in a presidential election by any race is monumental.

The other main difference between the President and Gov. Romney was political ideology. Obama stands for those who want government to redistribute wealth and provide more goods and services to the electorate while Romney stood for those who want government to downsize. Romney basically campaigned as a JFK of 2012 -- "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Obama has turned that around.

So why the monumental landslide for Obama by African Americans? Race? Ideology? Something else?
Old news!!! Blacks have always, at least since the mid-60s anyway, voted for democrats.

Did I say it mattered to me? Don't flatter yourself. I've made an observation. You want to buy into the BS, go for it.

How does making health care available to those who don't have it thru work *increase the chances of failure*?

Now you're just throwing words around.

The majority of African americans live in red states and there for are served by Republican policies, not Democratic ones.

so your comment makes no sense unless you just plainly ignore how this country is set up.
